For string handling, C is actually worse than Fortran. In Fortran a string can be sliced like in Python. It is not as nice as Python, but far better than C. Fortran's built-in I/O syntax is archaic, but the ISO C bindings in Fortran 2003 means one can use other means of I/O (posix, win api, C stdio) in a portable way.
